Danielle Peltier's mom often tells her she didn't send Peltier to New Mexico State University to become the next Willy Wonka. But, all on her own, Peltier has begun a research project that could change the way people with vegan and dairy-free diets enjoy chocolate, especially milk chocolates. "I'm trying to find new ways of making lactose-free chocolates using different types of milk, because right now all milk chocolate is made with whole dairy milk," said Peltier, who is also an NMSU Track and Field athlete.
